The PARKER HOOPER
Thought to be Lost-The Crew safe
in Spain.

For over month the greatest anxiety pre-
vailed over the fate of the three masted
schooner Parker Nj. Hooper, of Bath. Her
captain was John Hardness, of Camden. The
crew probably included some Maine men.
The schooner sailed from Havana for Boston
February 26, laden with sugar in sacks. She
should have arrived in Boston about March
III, but not word has been heard from her
until yesterday, when Hon. F. e. Richards
received telegram from II. l.. Shepard, of
kockport, stating that cable message had
Just been received from Captain Hardness,
dated Almeria. Mr.. Shepard is Capt. Hark-
ness's br0ther-in-law, and the greatest joy is
felt in Camden and vicinity over the news of
his safety.
Almeria is port of Spain on the Mediter-
ranean, 100 miles east of Malaga Mr.. Rich
ards thinks that the Parker M. Hooper was
lost on the passage from Havana to Boston,
probably by the shifting of her cargo, sugar
in sacks being very hard to keep in place in
heavy weather. The crew, thought to have
been lost, were taken off by some passing
vessel and carried to Almeria, as Capt. Hark-
ness's telegram shows. The schooner was
67S tons burden, and was built In Bath in
1879. She was owned by Capt. Hardness and
others.

The Portland yachtsmen are getting ready
for the coming season and some of the boats

Of the Willie and the boat is now owned by
Messrs. Haddock and Spear. w. w. Goods
sloop is to have new spars.
The interest in the coming races Of the
club for the second class cup is at high
pitch as the present holder, the Milly, is
having new spars, rigging and sails made in
Boston, hoping to hold the cup against the
Warren, which, it is thought, will be the
fastest boat in the haibor. The Milly is to
go to Boston to try conclusions with fast
Hub boats and it is hoped that she will
make good record before the season closes.

Fine Cattle.

By the New York boat yesterday there
were brought to this city eleven head of fine
Jersey cattls for J. L. Horne & Son of Nor
way. The herd includes one bull, the re-
naming animals being heifers. All the
cattle are high grade Jerseys and came from
the Kellogg sale in New York city.
The animals were not allowed to enter the
State without being examined to prevent the
possibility of the introduction of disease.
Cattle Commissioner Bell was at the wharf
and saw that the herd was properly Sc
cluded there. Last evening DIR. Geo. II.
Bailey, of the commission, who was out Of
town during the day, subjected the herd to
searching examination, but found no indca-
tion of disease. The animals will be taken
to Norway this morning, where they will be
quarantined upon the premises Of their own
ers until the fact of their healthy condition
can be fully established
